Most of us think of a Boxer engine as one that has a flat layout for the operation of the propulsion needed for a car to perform the way it should.

The benefit to having an engine that lays flat is that it can be placed lower in the engine bay, take up less space and offers a lower center of gravity for the driving that needs to be done. This is the way that some brands are using and offering their engines for specific cars to allow for more of what we want when it comes to performance.

The wait is over and we have finally been shown the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon which will be the next most powerful car from this brand in order to give us the amazing way to enjoy the ride. This is a car that we’ve been teased about for several weeks leading up to the New York Auto Show where we have the fun and excitement of this car on the stage. If you’re interested in this impressive sports car there are a few things you need to know that will make it even more exciting for you. You can also check out this video from AutoGuide.

Not every vehicle on the market can track its roots back as far as World War II, but the Jeep Wrangler certainly can. This is a vehicle that was originally built to be the troop carrying machine of the American military as they fought against the foes in Europe. The rough terrain and battle blown landscapes of Europe caused a need for a vehicle that could easily handle the challenges presented when going from one battlefield to another with a short wheelbase and high ground clearance that could be trusted to take care of business wherever this vehicle was called upon.

It’s about time an automaker was able to deliver on the promise they made. Even though most of the time a company will have a spokesperson that makes no concrete promises, we are typically given some sense of the timeline goals and performance targets an automaker intends to hit when they look to bring a new model to the market. It would be pretty boring and a short presentation if a company were to send a spokesperson to the podium to simply say “we’re building a new car” and that was all.

In a world where the computers and systems in our vehicles are taking over it seems the average driver is being left behind. That’s probably a good thing because the average driver spends a lot of time distracted behind the wheel searching for music, texting, eating and drinking. For most of us the task of driving is simply a way to get from one place to another and we rely on the systems of the car to help take care of us on the road but there are times when it’s important to know how to drive better than the average human.

When it comes to concept cars the rules go out the window. The idea behind creating a concept car that’s not built to ever be a production model is to offer a conglomeration of technological advances that can all work together. The only real rule when it comes to a concept car is that it must work and operate as a car on the street or track, but otherwise concepts are a fantastic way to showcase what is to come or is possible in the future of automobiles, giving many automakers a basis to work from.

How often do you travel in your SUV or wagon? Even if you only make one venture out each year during the holidays this video is one that shows you what can happen. I can tell you I’ve been guilty of loading up the backend of the car to the point of not being able to see through the rear window, but that’s a habit I need to change. Actually I may still need to load the car up, but it’s going to be important to have some bungee cords or ratcheting straps in the vehicle from now on to make sure everything is secure.

The first season of the new show “The Grand Tour” is about to be offered over Amazon Prime and it will feature the loveable trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May who are the original Top Gear group. This trio has shown us a large number of vehicles and took us on tours that resulted in the drive and the destruction of more vehicles than you could ever imagine. If Amazon was worried about the number of vehicles they would need to support this show, they should have looked at the years of destruction that was already part of their resume.

Driving around a college campus can be an exciting drive of discovery that allows you to enjoy the fun of seeing the various buildings and sights of a campus. Most college campuses have donated features that are impressive in many ways to help the institution lead the way in a particular field of study. In some cases the campus might feature something that was tested on the campus to show how a new technology might work because an institution of higher learning would be the perfect place to test technology or advancements.

Ever since we’ve had a limitation on parking places in cities the boot has been around. A parking boot is designed to disable a vehicle by keeping it from being able to move, but this device can do damage to a vehicle when being attached, removed or if the owner of the vehicle is brazen enough to try and move the vehicle with the boot attached. This device also makes it difficult to tow a vehicle away and means a person from the parking enforcement agency must come out and remove the boot before it can be towed.
